Doppelherz Melatonin Spray 30 ml

Adequate sleep is crucial for well-being. Sleep consists of several sleep cycles. During sleep, important processes occur in the body. Phases of rest and relaxation alternate with deep sleep phases. Experiences are processed and learned information is stored. How much sleep a person needs varies. However, it is generally true that most people need at least seven to eight hours of sleep per night. Melatonin helps to shorten the time it takes to fall asleep. Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone produced by the pineal gland in the diencephalon. Natural melatonin production begins after the onset of darkness and peaks between 2 and 4 am, then decreases again in the second half of the night. Melatonin contributes to shortening the time it takes to fall asleep. For the positive effect to occur, 1 mg of melatonin should be taken shortly before bedtime.
